Dude, That Phone Is Dope

Marijuana-scented cell-phone covers are causing quite a buzz Down Under. Australian authorities blasted the green, marijuana-motif covers, saying the popular novelty items could turn teens on to drug use. Made in China and marketed alongside other snap-ons that smell like chocolate, strawberries, blueberries, cherries and roses, the pot-scented version sold well, said Robert Punch, owner, chief executive and founder of Corporate Phone Covers. Punch, who called the flap "a big overreaction," said the scented covers wouldn't influence anybody to try dope. "You wouldn't go and buy a big block of chocolate after smelling the chocolate one," he said.
